If vintage Barbie dolls have green ears, how much does it diminish their value?

Blonde bubble cut has one ear green.

I think it’s really a case-by-case basis. The other varying types of deterioration leave every vintage doll one of a kind.

If the plastic isn’t discolored, and the hair and make-up are still good, the value will be less affected than a very worn doll.

I agree that the best way is to compare with similar dolls in closed eBay auctions.
